Base price is 57k… add one option, it’s 68k. Dealer markup? Now it’s 80k.

No way. I could maybe handle the starting price, but once they add a markup, I’m out.

It’s crazy. I’m looking at buying a small farm to lease for crops and cattle, and it’s cheaper than that truck.

Everything is getting ridiculously overpriced. The cost of living is out of control everywhere.

How does one lease a farm? I’ve been thinking about starting with chickens or llamas.

It’s like renting a house. Some land is zoned for agriculture, and you can negotiate a lease. Check out https://www.landlease.com/ for ideas.

My son’s 2023 F-150 with a V8 and FX4 package was 52k. Forget paying 80k for a smaller truck.

And honestly, it still won’t last as long as a basic Tacoma. I say this owning an F-150.

My back lasted only 500 miles in a Tacoma. Nope, not doing that again.

Fair point. They’re definitely uncomfortable.

If you’re buying a Raptor, you’re not worried about it lasting forever anyway.

Well, on the plus side, a bunch of non-Raptors will get new grilles swapped in.

Honestly, the grille is the main reason I haven’t bought a Ranger. It looks awful to me.

I called about a Ranger Raptor. They said it’s a $25,000 markup right off the bat. Unreal.

I feel for you. I ordered one today at MSRP for 57k!

@Jaden
Did they release a new batch of allocations?

Yep, just placed my order today at MSRP. $57k!

That grille is rough, not gonna lie.

Are cooled seats available on the new Rangers? Always surprised they weren’t an option on the Lariat trim.
